Reply to comment by OldWorldRevival in Will the singularity require political revolution to be of maximum benefit? If so, what ideas need to change? by OldWorldRevival

One way we could do it would be that anyone who owns land worth under $5,000,000 shouldn’t be taxed for it at all, but the tax should exponentially increase after that. Alternatively we could just ditch property tax entirely and instead put a cap on the amount of land you can rent out at any given moment, which would prevent billionaires from creating a feudal serf class.

Pretty much...

The surface of the earth - the real, beautiful natural surface of the earth, for the fact of it, cannot be replaced by a virtual world or being on the surface of another planet.

I do not want to see that ineffable, priceless beauty become something like a commodity like a precious metal.
